Senate approves moving photo‑radar bill to Transportation Committee
Summary
Senator Reese moved and the Senate approved reassigning Senate Bill 8 (photo radar) from Judiciary to the Transportation Committee after sponsors and committee chairs indicated the topic would be more appropriate in Transportation.
Senator Reese moved to transfer Senate Bill 8 — described on the floor as a photo‑radar bill — from the Judiciary Committee to the Transportation Committee, saying the sponsor and the transportation committee chair believed the bill would be more appropriately handled there. The President put the motion to a voice vote and the motion carried.
“Senate bill 8 from judiciary to transportation,” Reese stated on the floor when making the motion. There was an objection noted by another member, but the presiding officer accepted the motion and senators voted in favor. The floor exchange recorded senators confirming the title as “photo radar” before the reassignment occurred.
The reassignment shifts jurisdictional oversight for the bill to Transportation, which typically hears measures involving enforcement technology, traffic control, and roadway safety. The transcript does not record committee hearing dates or detailed bill text; further procedural steps and any committee hearing schedule were not specified during the remarks.
